Zpacks Duplex

No, the Duplex is designed to be supported by your own trekking poles. You will need two trekking poles adjusted to 48 inches to set up the shelter.

Yes, it is constructed from Dyneema Composite Fabric, which is inherently waterproof and does not absorb water. Unlike nylon tents, it will not sag or stretch when wet, keeping your living space taut throughout a storm.

The Duplex is designed for two people and offers 28.1 square feet of floor space. While it is spacious for an ultralight shelter, it is a performance-oriented tent, so two standard-width sleeping pads will fit side-by-side with minimal extra room.

The tent features two doors and two vestibules, which provide excellent cross-ventilation when opened. The design also includes a gap between the canopy and the ground to promote airflow and minimize condensation.

The Duplex accommodates users up to 78 inches tall. If you are near this height, the peak height of 48 inches provides enough room to sit up, but you may want to be mindful of your sleeping pad thickness to avoid touching the canopy.

The Duplex is primarily a three-season shelter. While it handles wind and rain exceptionally well, it is not designed for heavy snow loads or extreme winter conditions.
